Made for city weekends and desk-to-dinner plans, this vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy 30 in blue Epi leather lends effortless polish. Carry it to brunch, meetings or a gallery opening—the iconic handheld silhouette elevates everyday looks while keeping your essentials close.
Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside the Louis Vuitton Epi Speedy 30? A: The Speedy 30 is a spacious handheld bag, ideal for daily essentials and more. It comfortably holds a large smartphone, continental wallet, keys, a cosmetics pouch, sunglasses in a case, and a small water bottle. It can also fit a tablet (such as an iPad) or an A5 notebook/diary. Please refer to the Measurements (30 x 22 x 18 cm) on this page or contact us for a tailored fit check.
Q: Can I wear this bag on my shoulder? A: The Speedy 30 is designed primarily as a handheld or crook-of-the-arm bag. The dual rolled top handles have a drop of approximately 11 cm, which is generally too tight for shoulder wear. Unlike the 'Bandoulière' models, this vintage style does not come with a shoulder strap or side D-rings.
Q: Does the Epi leather sag like the Monogram Canvas versions? A: No. Epi leather is significantly more structured and rigid than Louis Vuitton’s coated canvas. While canvas Speedys are known for developing a relaxed 'slouch' over time, the Epi Speedy holds its iconic shape well, even when empty.
Q: What is Epi leather and is it durable? A: Epi leather is a textured, pigmented leather known for its durability and water resistance. Its unique ripple pattern makes it less prone to showing scratches than smooth leathers, making it an excellent choice for everyday use. The blue finish on this bag adds a vibrant yet classic touch.
Q: How should I care for and store the Epi Speedy? A: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid oils, harsh cleaners, or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Crucially, do not fold this bag for storage. Unlike canvas Speedys that can be flattened, Epi leather should be stored upright and lightly stuffed to prevent permanent creasing.
Q: Where are the brand markings and date code located? A: Authentic Louis Vuitton Epi Speedys typically feature an exterior heat-stamp (e.g., “LOUIS VUITTON Paris”) on a leather leaf tab at the side. The date code—in this case, VI 0945, indicating production in France in April 1995—is usually found on a leather tab inside the interior pocket or along a seam. We are happy to provide close-up photos of these details on request.
Q: What is the condition of this specific vintage piece? A: This is a vintage item in 'Good' condition. It shows visible scuffing on the corners and light traces of use in the interior, which is common for a bag of this era. The hardware is shiny with light scratches. Please review the detailed condition report and photos on this listing for the exact finish.
Q: What accessories are included with this item? A: This bag comes with a dust bag. As a pre-loved vintage piece, it does not include a box or original receipt unless specified under “Accessories.”
Q: How do you authenticate this bag? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in-house experts using multi-point checks of materials, stitching, hardware, stamps, date codes, and overall construction. We stand behind the authenticity of all items we sell.
